Tennessee DUI Lawyers – Oberman & Rice Law Firm

In Tennessee, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious crime, subjecting offenders to harsh penalties, which include mandatory jail time, roadside litter pick-up and loss of one’s driver’s license. Hiring a Knoxville TN DUI Lawyer (or a Tennessee DUI lawyer in the jurisdiction in which you were arrested) is one of the most important decisions you will make if you are arrested for a Tennessee DUI and should not be taken lightly.

Although we understand the growing problem of DUI in our society, the often-overlooked fact is that innocent persons are charged each day with this offense. Furthermore, it is the philosophy of our Knoxville DUI Lawyers to vigorously protect the constitutional rights of Tennessee citizens. Therefore, even if you believe you may have been driving under the influence at the time of your arrest, you may be able to win your case if your constitutional rights or other rights guaranteed under Tennessee law were violated.
